On behalf of the taxpayers of Allegheny County, I am pleased to welcome
you to BidAllegheny - the very first on-line electronic bidding auction
site for certificates of deposit offered by a county in the United States.
Utilization of state of the art technology, in an innovative way, will
provide an easier, more efficient medium by which monthly deposits will be
awarded. Electronic bidding is designed to enhance and maximize the
investment of county funds by providing an impartial bidding award
procedure.

Since assuming the Office of the Treasurer of Allegheny County, I have
made a determined effort to bring about innovative changes to the Treasury
Management Services provided by our internal Investment Department. The
introduction of modern business and banking techniques are steps towards
that goal.

Your participation in the electronic auction is welcome and much
appreciated. Together, we can make strides to benefit all the taxpayers of
Allegheny County.
